Mattew Poncelet (Sean Penn) is the convicted killer of two teenage lovers, waiting to end his sentence and his life on Death Row. In response to a letter, the progressive and outspoken Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) visits Matthew and finds herself face to face with a convicted killer who continues to plead his innocence when the date is set for his execution - death by lethal injection. Poncelet asks Sister Helen to be his spiritual advisor, and she agrees, little knowing the anguish and pain that will follow for him for her and for the parents of the children he is accused of slaughtering.

The journey they will undertake in search of the truth is as powerful and profound as you are ever likely to witness on screen. For further details , please contact Chandi on 2685429/2685440.
